GameHounds 228: Full Steam Ahead

There's this time during the summer that it really doesn't matter what news is going on. It's the Steam Summer Sale. And all things important stop. Including your ability to control your spending. All three hosts — Edie Sellers, Nick Dinicola, and Holy Goalie — are all deeply under the spell of Steam. Rather than bother with news items, because let's face it, not much was happening at the time, they dive into what they've been buying on Steam and why. Games include Surgeon Simulator 2013, Don't Starve, Command and Conquer, Splinter Cell, Grand Theft Auto, War of the Roses, Chivalry, Guns of Icarus Online, Men of War, Strike Suit Zero, Lunar Flight, Galaxy on Fire 2, Tiny Troopers, World in Conflict, Dawn of War 2, Warhammer, Star Wars: Empire at War, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Sanctum 2, Rogue Legacy, Half Life 2, Sleeping Dogs, Oregon Trail Director's Cut, Carriers of Command, Infestation: Survivor Stories, Defiance, Euro Truck Simulator, Dust: An Elesian Tale, Sim City, Alan Wake, Bastion, Deadlight, Dark Souls, Mark of the Ninja, Skyrim, Steam Trading Cards. And don't forget, on Wednesday, July 25 (like, two days from now), We'll be having our Christmas in July episode, where we give away a mega-ton of games on both our regular show and the Happy Endings show. So set your calendars. Enjoy.
